Foul Football
Foul Football is one of the many spin-offs of Horrible Histories. The series is written by Michael Coleman and explains everything you need to know about football (soccer).
History
The Foul Football series was conceived as a spin-off from the The Knowledge series. Two of the books in the The Knowledge series, written by Michael Coleman, are known as Foul Football and Even Fouler Football; however, he decided to incorporate these books into a whole new series called Foul Football which has included many books over the years.
Following suit with the other main books in the Horrible saga, Foul Football underwent a change of style, a book makeover. The first books to undergo this change are the books
- The Ups and Downs of the Premier League
- Kickin' Quiz Book
- Come on England
- Flaming Olympics
